I wrote probably my phattest banging record with Knife Party: 'Pile Driver.'

My life, I swear, is, like, 75% public. I have a very small percentage of my life that is private. But I do keep that private life private.

I love to work with artists that were able to find a brand new name and create something really exciting and fresh.

What I find is most people have a civics book understanding for how Congress works and how a bill moves.

I thought Bill Bryson's 'A Short History of Nearly Everything' was remarkable. Managing to be entertaining while still delivering all that hard science was a pretty good trick to pull off.

Another thing that freaks me out is time. Time is like a book. You have a beginning, a middle and an end. It's just a cycle.
